Gozo Malta · Area Guide
Living in Marsalforn
Gozo's main northern beach resort. Marsalforn is Gozo's largest coastal resort — a bay with restaurants, hotels, and a lively atmosphere in summer. It is the closest thing Gozo has to a St Paul's Bay. More affordable than Xlendi and less isolated than other villages, it attracts a mix of tourists in summer and a permanent resident population year-round. The salt pans at Qbajjar are nearby.
